I have to be honest, I haven’t been promoting my GDI business like I should’ve been promoting it. I’m not making excuses, it’s just that GDI was never a main focus of mine. I’m usually just focused on promoting my main sign up bonus site then in promoting individual programs, but this is me and what I think makes sense.

From what I can remember in my promotion efforts is that I would get a lot of people putting in their names and e-mail addresses to see the free GDI movie, but a super large majority of them would never go to the next level and actually take advantage of GDI’s 7 day free trial. I definitely made good use of the leads I got though. I would put them through a series of 3 e-mails, more if they continued to show interest in the .ws opportunity.

Check I received from GDI for $103.00.

So, am I saying that Global Domains International is not as easy of a home based business then most people make it out to be? I do have to say that I am. It’s true that there are some super duper internet marketers out there getting well over 5 sign ups a week, but at the moment, I’m not one of those marketers. I also believe most people that sign up for GDI are kind of in my same boat.

GDI has been around for awhile, their business opportunity is a great way to build residual income over time if you can get the numbers in. I do think their product is kind of losing its value though. There are so many better ways to get your own domain name and to build your own website using open source code and a separate hosting company.

The cost of a domain name is around $10.00 a year and most basic hosting plans charge around $50.00 a year plus another $20.00 for an e-mail address to go with your domain. Once you have these two things set up, you can very easily jump into a free open source code system like WordPress or Drupal and have a professional looking CMS website with very minimal effort on your part in a very short time.

Let’s do the math on the two, shall we?

$10.00/mo x 12 = $120.00 a year for GDI’s website.ws services.

$10.00 domain
$50.00 hosting
$20.00 e-mail account

= about $80.00 a year elsewhere.

So you can actually save money not using GDI.

Then again, most hosting companies also have their own affiliate program through a third party network like Commission Junction or another network. This means you could very easily earn the cost of your hosting and domain plan back with an affiliate company and never pay a monthly fee.

These are things to think about. What’s your opinion?

The Free and Powerful team claims it will take you anywhere from 15 to 50 minutes to get your sign up bonus. It’s up to you if you are willing to put the time in. In my opinion, I’m a busy guy at times, so I haven’t completed my tasks to get the sign up bonus. I do know it’s working for some people because I’ve been hearing all the hype about this free earning opportunity all over the web.

If you are more of a video person, trust me, I am too. You can check out what Free and Powerful is all about by watching this short video.

Since this site if free to join, I recommend it as a free way to make money online. I do caution you to do your own due diligence if you are serious about spending any money on their upgrade option. I’ve noticed in my back office they are really pushing their members to upgrade their account to Power Flex or Power Stretch. I mean that is all you see in the back office. I don’t recommend upgrading your free membership. Though this is a cool site, this is also a new site, so you don’t know how long it will be around.

I also noticed that there are various free trial offers at Free & Powerful. You have to be careful when signing up on free trial offers, if you don’t cancel before the trial is up, you are pretty much screwed.

Take a look at some more free affiliate sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think of Free & Powerful.

Let’s face it. A lot of people, including myself, are trying to accomplish too many things at once. Someone, about 10 years back, wouldn’t have had to worry about this same issue. This is because they didn’t have the connectivity power that we have now in order to increase income from home.

Anyways, let’s get to details here. The Spider Web Marketing System was designed to help your GDI online business. You don’t have to use the required time it takes to build a website using GDI’s web design software package. By the way, GDI’s web design software is really tricky to get used to and really limits the overall set up of your website. Two of the biggest things I don’t like about GDI’s web design software is that your site can only be 10 pages long and you have to use one of their templates. What if you want your site to be longer than 10 pages or you don’t like any of their web templates?

The Spider Web Marketing System also has really good video tutorials that go over every step of setting up your Spider Web Marketing system. The first thing you’ll want to do if you don’t want to take the time to build your own website with GDI is to switch your GDI name server to The Spider Web System. They will make a personally designed website for you in minutes with a Blog (where you can advertise and promote any product or service at)  included with your site. There are about 5 different themes you can choose from.  Take a look at my Spider Web System page to see one of the themes.

The Spider Web System also works as a down line builder, opt-in page promoter with automatic campaign follow ups where you only need to set up your referral links with the down line builders. Don’t worry, there aren’t too many stages, only 8 if I remember correctly. This means that every lead you get by promoting The Spider Web System in conjunction with your GDI business will automatically be added to an automated mailing list to benefit you and the leads will be able to sign up under all your programs instead of just GDI.

The best part about The Spider Web Marketing System is that it is completely duplicatable. Once you sign someone up, you don’t have to spend countless hours trying to teach your new members of GDI how to advertise and get their website set up. The Spider Web System takes care of all of that for you. So you can just sit back and relax as your new GDI members watch all the required videos and learn how to get sign ups through The Spider Web System. It’s really a beautiful thing. That is why I promote The Spider Web System. It just makes life a whole lot simpler.

The first step is to take advantage of all the paid to sign up sites; currently there are over $2,000 in sign up bonuses on my paid to sign up home page. These sites are all free to sign up on and pay you to sign up with them. The reason I recommend these paid to sign up sites is because the next 2 steps require a small financial investment on your part and these sign up bonuses will cover your membership costs for years to come. The money doesn’t stop coming in at the sign up bonuses. You can earn money with these free to join sign up bonus sites by taking surveys, signing up on paid offers, reading e-mails, and clicking on ads, etc…

The second step is to get a website of your own, kind of like my paid to sign up site. This way you can promote the sites you liked at my paid to sign up site and make money off of the people you refer as well. Of course your site doesn’t have to be as large or detailed as mine. You probably aren’t going to like every paid to sign up site listed on my home page. What I recommend doing is signing up with all of them since they are free and seeing which ones you like enough to actually promote on your own.

To get your own website, my recommendation is using Global Domains International, otherwise known as GDI. Why GDI? I chose GDI because the cost to run a GDI business is only $10.00 a month with a 7 day free trial to test drive the system out before you commit yourself. You get your own website with hosting, 10 e-mail accounts, and web design software all included in one package. On top of this you’ll also have the ability to recommend GDI to others and make a 10% residual commission off of your referrals and your referral’s referrals up to 5 levels deep. I offer training at my paid to sign up site if you need help setting GDI up the way you want it to look.

The third step is making sure you advertise your newly designed website properly. A website without advertising is like opening up a business in the middle of the desert; you won’t have any customers. The service I recommend for accomplishing your advertising needs is The New Plan Network, otherwise known as NPN. Why NPN? Well, NPN is kind of like GDI in that they both have 3 letter abbreviations, just kidding. GDI and NPN are similiar in some ways. Both GDI and NPN offer a free trial to get started, have a $10.00 a month membership fee, include an all in one service, and offer a great business opportunity where you can make a residual income for life all online. No more belly to belly, just stay at home in your pajamas and run your entire business online with automation.

Let me go over some specifics about NPN. First, get your 30 day free trial with NPN and risk nothing before you find out whether or not NPN is the business for you. NPN will only cost you $10.75 a month after that. NPN has a low monthly investment and you can actually earn 50% residual commissions from the people you refer to NPN. NPN has a 5×5 matrix compensation plan where you can get spillover from members above you. That’s enough about the business opportunity side of NPN, let’s now discuss the awesome services you’ll receive at such a low cost, you would think you’re ripping NPN off.

With NPN you get auto responders, capture pages to build your mailing lists, link trackers to track your advertising results, banner rotators, link rotators, leads blasters, a down line builder to promote 3 of your other favorite business opportunities you are already involved in, and much more.

Are you seeing why I recommend these 3 steps yet? You got my paid to sign up site that will give you over $2,000 in sign up bonuses so your GDI and NPN membership fees will be covered for years to come. Both GDI and NPN offer you a free trial so you can test drive both of them out before you decide to stick with them. There is no risk on your part, all you have to do is step forward and take action. Both GDI and NPN offer a multitude of combined services in one and have a very low monthly membership of around $10.00 a month multiplied by 2 equals only $20.00 a month. Can you afford $20.00 a month? And technically you only have to refer 10 people in GDI for it to be free and 2 people in NPN for it to be free. If you refer more than that you will be in the black. Do you think you’ll be able to refer at least 12 paid members in your first few months? That’s all it takes, not too difficult, is it?

Visit my paid to sign up home page and I explain both GDI and NPN in a little more detail so you can get started with confidence today!

With GDI you’ll pay just $10.00 a month after your free 7 day trial to test drive the business out. I bet you won’t see any free trial with these other business opportunities out there that cost over $1,000 to join. They don’t give you a trial because they know if you got to see what their business was all about and how hard it really is to refer others sometimes that you definitely would quit before the 7 day trial was up and keep your $1,000.

The question is: Can you refer at least 10 other people in your first month? If you think that is too much of a height to accomplish: Could you refer at least 10 other people in your first 6 months in GDI? Of course you can. That means that the $10.00 a month you pay would be earned back from your referrals and GDI’s services would be literally free to you. Here’s the kicker, with any business opportunity or multi-level marketing venture you’ll know that the people you refer are likely to refer others as well. This means that you may only need to refer six people initially and you referrals will get the other 4 in your second level.

Here is a quick over view on how Global Domains International works. For every person referred, you’ll earn a 10% residual commission off of them. Residual means you’ll earn that 10% every month as long as the member stays on the books. What’s 10% of $10.00? It’s $1.00. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but your first level in GDI can go to infinity. There is no limit on how many people you can sign up for Global Domains International. With GDI you’ll be able to earn on 5 levels. So you now know that GDI is paying its affiliates 50% of what they make. What I mean is every member that pays their $10.00 monthly fee, GDI gets $5.00 of it and pays the other $5.00 to its affiliates. I won’t get into weekly bonuses and other earning opportunities GDI has to offer to keep this post short.

Global Domains International has been around since the 1990s so you know they are a good stable Company to join. If you like what GDI has to offer, feel free to check out my other recommended business opportunities to join and let me know what you think of them.

What do you get with this free system?

1. You and your down lines will get free marketing training.
2. You and your down lines will be able to build 12 income streams without have to try to sell anyone on them.
3. The third and best reason is if you or your down lines don’t have the time to build their GDI website and set up an auto responder; They will set these up for you in one simple step. They give you a duplicate site and blog with your GDI hosting.

It is 100% optional to use this option of course, but it comes in handy for people that just don’t have the time or motivation to build a website from scratch.

**Disclaimer – Affiliate links are used on this post.

So what do you get for $10.00 a month?

1. You get your own website that you can personalize to make your own. You can build it from scratch or use a template.
2. You get your own domain name. You’ll get a .ws domain name, but you can choose a .com or something else for an extra one time fee.
3. You’ll get 100 MB of web hosting space and an unlimited number of pages to your personally designed website.
4. You’ll get 10 e-mail accounts to go with your domain. You don’t have to use all of them if you don’t want to.
5. Web design software is included for the $10.00 a month. If you don’t like GDI’s web design software you can use My Free Website Builder to make your site. It is similar to Dreamweaver except it’s 100% free to use.
6. Last, but not least, you’ll be able to refer others to GDI and earn a 10% residual revenue every month for their membership fee. You can’t beat that, right!!!!

If you refer a minimum of at least five paid members in one week you’ll get entered into GDI’s bonus pool and instantly receive $100.00. The same goes if you refer 10 people in one week you’ll make $200.00. There really is not limit except the limits you put on yourself.

If you sign up or are already a member, I have some valuable training for GDI at my Affiliate Tips page.
